I’ll Find You:

Molly loved to hike through the woods especially on mornings
after a rain, when the light was extraordinarily beautiful. Her favorite thing
to do was photography and she had gotten up before dawn to catch the early
light.

She discovered a man, Nate, trapped, and badly injured from
a rock slide. He was pale and fading in and out. She was terrified that he was
dying and help wpuld arrive too late.

“Just keep talking.
Are you married?”

“No. You?”

“Nope.”

“Good. ‘Hate to think
I’d go through all this, just to meet a beautiful woman, only to find out she’s
married.”

For August, 2015 A Summer Scorcher

Heat

Grace’s best friend, Anita, wanted to meet that great guy,
get married, and have kids. There was just one problem, Anita lost her sight following
an accident.

She didn’t believe that she would ever find that great guy,
or get married, or have kids. But Grace wouldn’t give up on her and helped her
sign up on an internet dating site.

Steve, the man who seemed most interesting, also seemed to
have a problem, something he wouldn’t tell her, and kept referring to his
mysterious friend, Michael.

When Anita and Steve finally met there was an instant,
powerful attraction. When Grace met Michael, however, there was an instant,
surprising heat.

“This is the first
time in a very long time I’ve made it out of this house. I have agoraphobia, I
wasn’t sure what you’d think.”

“I am so very happy to
meet you—that’s what I think,” she said.

After dinner Michael
and I watched the sunset.

“I think it’s great
what you’ve done for him. Must be hard on your marriage.”

He leaned forward.
“Not married,” he whispered. “Your boyfriend must be curious about tonight.”

“’Don’t have one.”

“Imagine that.”

“Imagine that.”

Once in the Whole Wide World

In the middle of a rain storm a large dog had pushed their
back door open, wandered in, and settled down in the middle of Jackie’s bed.

When she and her kids found the grateful owners Jackie was
surprised to meet someone who was avoiding dating as much as she was.

“Yes, you and my Marco. You have given up on love. He doesn’t date either. Engaged. Then not
engaged. We must thank you for saving our Princess, come to our restaurant
tonight for dinner…”

Marco came in just as
we were about to leave.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t
get here earlier,” he said, handing me roses.
“I managed to take off a little early. But, it’s true. I haven’t dated. I tried…it didn’t feel
right. But if you don’t date then, I
thought maybe we could both not date…together.”

For October 2015, a Ghostly Surprise

Aunt Sarah’s House:

Ashley and her sister, Liz, inherited Aunt Sarah’s house,
the old Victorian that had been the gathering place for the family. But now Liz
was getting married and she and her son, Bobby, would be moving away. Just like
Aunt Sarah, Ashley would be alone in this big house.

Bobby was turning sixteen and is an aspiring engineer. For
his birthday she went to the hardware store to buy tools for him, and ran into
Parker, an old friend. In the midst of Bobby’s birthday party Parker showed up
with two gifts, one for Bobby, the other wrapped with a large, satin bow.

“This one, this is
chocolate covered strawberries. I thought perhaps we might enjoy them after
dinner tonight.”

“I just haven’t dated
in a long time.”

“It’s just dinner,” he
whispered, “and a few luscious, delicious, irresistible strawberries.”

The Trouble With Hedges

Bill was a retired FBI agent. He never thought that he would
find a dead boy in his hedge, or that the neighborhood would turn to him for
help, or that his new, irresistible neighbor would be in his kitchen.

“Hey, FBI, don’t have
a heart attack, I’m just making you an omelet,” a female voice yelled up from
the kitchen.

He rushed down the
stairs, pointing his gun at a woman in a long, swirling skirt cracking eggs
into a bowlful of flour.

“Who the hell are
you?”

“Sarah Jamieson.”

“What are you doing?”

“What’s it look like
I’m doing? Making biscuits. I’m your neighbor Sarah. And I’m making you a nice breakfast before
the block meeting.”

“What block meeting?”

“The block meeting
you’re about to have, of course. Smile, your neighbors and future best friends
just started up your front steps.” She kissed him letting her breasts brush
against him.

For December, 2015
